Creating All-Weather Learning Spaces

Massey High School Wins Archgola Shade Giveaway 

In 2024, as part of its commitment to supporting local communities, Archgola launched a special mid-winter giveaway, offering three custom-designed canopies to deserving schools and clubs across New Zealand. This initiative aimed to enhance outdoor spaces, providing much needed shelter for students and members to enjoy year-round, via individual nominations.  

Massey High School, located in West Auckland, was selected as the Upper North Island region winner. Their nomination, submitted by the school’s Drama teacher, highlighted the need for a dedicated outdoor teaching and breakout space adjacent to the Drama studio. Additionally, the school sought a sheltered area where students could gather comfortably during breaks, regardless of the weather.  

The Archgola West Auckland team worked closely with the school to design a solution that seamlessly integrated with the existing buildings. A sleek slim-arch canopy was chosen to complement the school’s campus. 

Massey High School Principal, Alastair Fairley, expressed his gratitude for both the product and the installation experience. 

“We are very pleased with the look and overall product, and it blends in with our school landscape. Jayden and his team were efficient, knowledgeable and worked with the school in having the product erected in a timeline that worked with the school. We highly recommend Jayden and his team to any prospective clients.”  – Alastair Fairley, Principal, Massey High School
